I have not been writing for a long time. It’s about time I start to write again (won’t promise a weekly post though 🙂 ).

God hasn’t changed my mind about who the antichrist is; if anything, He has further confirmed it to me.

A supernatural revealing came to me at the start of 2016. I came across a YouTube clip posted end of last year with this intriguing visual:

The author observed that if Barack Obama were to leave office in Jan 2017, that would be 666 months since his birth. I believe I was the first person who connected the dots on this particular fact shortly after Obama won the election in 2008 and posted my observation on the Internet at this link, http://www.fivedoves.com/rapture/2008/obama_666.htm.

What caught my eyes in the above YouTube clip’s visual is the way the name OBAMA is written:

Clearly, the number 666 is hidden in the letters ‘baa’. The letter ‘b’ resembles the digit 6 and the letter ‘a’ appears like the digit 6 when it is horizontally inverted.

Being a numbers man, I straightaway saw that the letter ‘m’ can be made to look like the digit 3 if it is rotated by 90°.

Hence, the transformed name of Obama, when read as a number, becomes ‘06636’. The Holy Spirit prompted me to check out this number as a Bible verse number. I went to the Bible Wheel website and keyed in the number ‘06636’ as a verse order number, and the site returned the scripture Judges 5:12, “Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.”

This scripture is the six thousand six hundred thirty sixth verse of the Bible counting Genesis 1:1 as the first scripture.

Not sure if you have noticed, but the transformed name of Obama leads us to a Bible verse that contains the name BARAK!

The name BARAK appears 13 times in the Old Testament all found within the book of Judges chapter 4 and chapter 5.

What are the chances of this happening?

To give you an idea this is by design, try flipping the Bible randomly and point to a verse with your index finger and see if your finger lands on the name BARAK. That, essentially, is how improbable that verse 06636 just happens to fall on a page in the Bible that points to the antichrist since all references to BARAK are all contained within the two pages of the Bible shown in the image below:

Not only that, in this verse, Barak (highlighted in red box) is described as the son of ABINOAM (highlighted in blue box) — a clue that led Kevin Heckle to discover that the name ‘Barack Hussein Obama’ actually adds to 666!

But there are more clues hidden in Judges chapter 5 that link Obama to the number 666.

Judges Chapter 5

The LORD places Judges chapter 5 precisely where it is for a good reason. Consider this, Judges chapter 5 is the 216th chapter of the Bible counting Genesis chapter 1 as the first chapter. Obama was born on August 4 which is day 216 of that particular year in 1961.

216 = 6 x 6 x 6 !!!!!!

The book before Judges is the book of Joshua, the SIXTH book of the Bible. The chapter after Judges chapter 5 is chapter SIX. If we count the position of the book of Judges from the last book of the Bible, the book of Revelation, the book of Judges is the SIXTIETH book.

In Judges chapter 5, there are 31 verses. The scripture after Judges 5:12 in which the 13th reference to BARAK is found, is verse 13; the remaining number of verses is 18. Given the evidence of design thus far, it is not a stretch to suggest that these two numbers, 13 & 18, are intimating the presence of the 666 beast of Revelation 13:18 hidden in Judges chapter 5.

Intriguingly, given how the way the KJV Bible is printed in book form, it just so happens that Judges chapter 5 is found on page 198, which is 66 + 66 + 66 !!!

Verse 06636

The number 06636 has a few interesting links to 666. The first time the name BARAK appears in the Bible is Judges 4:6, which is verse 6606 — a number that looks like 666. The number 06636 has THREE SIXES (666) in it. The first two digits of 06636 form the number 36 — this is the order number of a triangle made up of 666 counters (image below).

We can look at it another way: begin with the number 1, keep adding the next number until the sum totals 666. By the time we reach 36, the sum is precisely 666 (1+2+……+36).

The number 666 and its order number 36 are both present in the number 06636.

The number 06636 is SIX TIMES 1106. If the number 1106 is taken as a month-day number, it is November 6 — the date on which Obama won the US Presidential election in 2012.

If the number 1106 is taken as an hour-minute number, the time 11:06 is the 666th minute of the day.

The Hidden 666 Code

I want to leave you with the last hidden 666 code, saving the best for the last.

I want to direct your attention back to the original clue that prompted me to post in the first place.

The transformed name of Obama that becomes a number, 06636, led us to Judges 5:12, which confirms what Kevin Heckle discovered about Barack Hussein Obama the antichrist.

Notice how the letter ‘a’ is horizontally inverted to make it look like the digit 6; the letter ‘a’ has to undergo a 180° transformation.

The total angle of transformation for the letters ‘a’, ‘m’ and ‘a’ (the last 3 letters in OBAMA) is 180° + 90° + 180° = 450°.

Add the number 450 to 216, the chapter order of Judges chapter 5, surprise surprise, the sum is 666 !!!!!!

God certainly has a sense of humor. He embedded the name OBAMA in ABINOAM (symbolizing that BARAK came from the body of his father ABINOAM), and led Kevin to discover the Hebrew gematria of OBAMA, which is 113. As a result, Kevin was able to work out the Hebrew gematria of Barack Hussein Obama which indeed adds up to 666.

The following articles have all been posted in raptureready.com recently. They all have different views of this man fulfilling all the prophecies in the Bible concerning the Antichrist. They all have very good points and I will add my two cents worth of opinion also.

Let me start thinking like Satan would and proceed from there. I am controlling all the kingdoms of this world and I want the man I am going to choose as my son to be able to use the power I give him to go and control the world for me. Which of the powerful kingdoms of the world can I put him in charge of to do this? I search my wide database and come to the conclusion that it is a kingdom that I have prepared and groomed for a long time for the job of serving my son. This kingdom at present is the USA holding the most advanced and lethal military in the world with and industrial complex behind unequaled in the world.

This kingdom controls all the currency in the world and most of the trade between nations in one way or the other is touched by the banks that are controlled from here. The institutions of higher learning are the best of the world and the academia also I have corrupted to follow in line. The same I have done with the entertainment industry whose films espouse the kind of mind numbing distraction that have led the people down the path that I want.

Yes we are at the time that the trap must be shut. My plan of the ages is ready to start to unleash my son the Antichrist to occupy his position of authority and godhead that I envisioned in my plan thousands of years ago. Soon I will force my hand to start my plan, but I must wait till Jesus Christ who opposes me is ready to engage me by opening the first seal of the book of Revelation and gives the crown of victory to the rider of the white horse.

Barack Hussein Obama whom I chose since before his birth and whom I reared and counseled, putting him in a path to reach the position of power he now enjoys and for which he has prepared for seven years already knows full well his destiny and path to fallow.

Well this is my introduction to the articles that follow and you the reader can find further evidence of Obama’s position in the category section of this blog.

The end of the age will be marked by a one-world government ruled by an evil man that Christians call the Antichrist (Dan. 7:23; Rev. 13:7-8). Some think Pres. Obama is the Antichrist. Others think he is a type (a picture or a forerunner) of the Antichrist.

This writer has long believed that Pres. Obama might seek to become one of the 10 kings (the first head of the North American Union), but he appears to want more than that. He appears to want to rule the world.

There was a report on Jan. 8, 2016 that Pres. Obama wants to head up the UN when Sec. Gen. Ban Ki-moon ends his term on Dec. 31, 2016. The belief by some that Pres. Obama is the Antichrist coupled with his desire to take the top spot in the UN wannabe world government has prompted some speculation.

So here is a partial list of the characteristics of the Antichrist:

First, the Antichrist will start out in a small or insignificant way, steadily move into a position of limited power (prince) and quickly move on to the most powerful position on earth:

“There came up among them another little horn.” (Dan. 7:8).

“The people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary” (Dan. 9:26).

“They worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?” (Rev. 13:4).

Second, the Antichrist will say arrogant, pompous or condescending things; He will have “a mouth speaking great things” (Dan. 7:8).

Third, the Antichrist will slander God; persecute believers; and try to change calendars, holidays and laws: He “shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws” (Dan. 7:25; also see Rev. 13:7).

Fourth, the Antichrist will ignore the truth and tell lies. He will “cast down the truth to the ground” (Dan. 8:12; also see 2 Thess. 2:9).

Fifth, the Antichrist will be given great power and he will succeed as a destroyer of powerful people and believers

“His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people” (Dan. 8:24).

Sixth, the Antichrist will cause false or evil worship to prosper; boast and think highly of himself; he will use peace as a tool to destroy many and he will oppose Jesus:

“And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes” (Dan. 8:25).

Also see Dan. 11:36; Rev. 6:1-2; 13:6).

Seventh, the Antichrist will do what he wants to do regardless of what the law says or what others think. He will “do according to his will” (Dan. 11:36).

Eighth, the Antichrist will not heed the wishes of his father’s god or women or anyone’s god. This is unclear, but some think he will be godless and gay:

“Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all” (Dan. 11:37; also see II Thess. 2:4).

Ninth, the Antichrist will divide the Land of Israel. He “shall divide the land for gain” (Dan. 11:39).

Tenth, the Antichrist will come from the group of nations that destroyed Jerusalem and the temple in AD 70:

“The people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary” (Dan. 9:26).

Concerning the list of characteristics prophesied by Daniel cited above, few can honestly deny that Pres. Obama started out small (relatively unknown before becoming Pres. of the U.S.), that he is arrogant (has a pen and a phone), that he is condescending (lectures Christians about criticizing Muslims), and that he wants to change laws (disarm America’s citizens).

Pres. Obama lies: “Obamacare will lower your annual insurance premiums by $2500.” He has destroyed powerful people (brought great harm to the U.S.). He does everything according to his own will (with executive actions and executive orders). And he wants to divide the Land of Israel (Two-State solution), etc.

The only problem this writer has with the belief that Pres. Obama is the Antichrist is this: The Roman Empire, the group of nations that destroyed Jerusalem and the temple (as far as this writer knows), Pres. Obama is not from that group of nations. (I know his father was from Kenya; Pres. Obama’s birth certificate was probably forged.)

Pres. Obama is probably using a stolen social security number; his school records, medical records, passport. All of that important information is hidden. We know that there are 6 letters in his first name, 6 in his second name and 6 in his third name; etc.). But this writer is not convinced that Pres. Obama is from the old Roman Empire.

It is now being reported that Pres. Obama has given up on securing a peace treaty in the Middle East by the end of his administration. One must wonder if he has given up because the new target date for confirming a treaty is 2030.

People wonder why Pres. Obama constantly defends Muslims when it is clear that Islamic terrorists are responsible for most of the terrorism in the world. One must wonder if he defends Islam because he wants the support of 53 Muslim nations to become the next Sec. Gen. of the UN.

Also, if he is trying to become the head of the UN, would he declare martial law in the U.S.?

God is not bound by UN goals, but if there is going to be a world government in 2030, the world will soon start seeing the rise of the 10 kings, perhaps other regional currencies, a greater push for world religion, etc.

If there is going to be a world government in 2030 and the Pre-Trib Rapture is right, the Rapture is less than 14 years away (and as always, it could happen at any time).

Finally, if there is going to be a world government in 2030, the Antichrist and the False Prophet are alive now; we are the terminal generation and billions of people need to get saved immediately. Billions will not survive the Tribulation period.

Barack Hussein Obama has high ambitions indeed. He is clearly still a very aspirational man. Unlike presidents before him who have gone on to build a library or to the highly lucrative private lecture circuit, Obama sees the end of his tenure as president of the United States, arguably the most important and powerful leadership position on earth, as merely yet another stepping stone toward more power.

One commentator famously quipped of Obama as president that he never really started governing, because he never really stopped campaigning. This, apparently, is still the case today as his second term draws to a close.

It is the biggest, most talked about secret of the last few weeks; Obama apparently wants to become the next Secretary General of the United Nations. In 2017, Ban Ki Moon’s current term leading this international body comes to an end and Obama, if reports and all the “chatter” are to be believed, harbors genuine aspirations towards this role.

Many are dismissive, believing the position of Secretary General to be a “non-position.” Be under no illusion though, Barack Obama as Secretary General of the UN would not be the same as a Ban Ki Moon, or a Kofi Annan or a Dr Boutros-Boutros Ghali. Barack Obama is a truly global politician with a global reach and influence. This position, were he to fill it, would inevitably morph into something else entirely.

Obama already has considerable kudos at the United Nations, having picked up the Nobel Peace Prize early in his presidency. Regardless of how mystifying this award may appear now, with the benefit of eight years hindsight, Obama remains a figure of popularity and even reverence at the UN.

He is the first president of the United States who has actively tried to subjugate America to the mandates and dictates of the UN. As UN Secretary General, Obama would certainly seek to continue this trend, likely at every turn, and would continue to undermine U.S. interests in favor of those of the UN.

From the very beginning Obama has been true to his vision. In 2008, he did promise to fundamentally transform America with his mantra of “change,” and change has been his agenda for the entirety of his two terms. He has been as good as his word. The America of 2016 is a different place entirely from the America of 2008.

In post as a UN Secretary General we should expect nothing less than a continuation of this policy; his entire life seems to be have been driven by this desire for fundamental change and transformation. At the UN, Obama would no doubt spend considerable amounts of his time and energy attempting to further pacify the interests of the United States in favor of the United Nations. No doubt he would spend significant time and energy agitating within the US to this effect.

At the conclusion of his presidency it seems as if Obama’s aspirations have always been to progress towards an end point where the interests of the United States and the United Nations would merge. In order to do this he clearly understands that one of the two entities, the United States or the United Nations, must be subjugated to the needs of the other. The entire pattern of Obama’s presidency has been one of subjugating U.S. interests to those of literally all other international bodies, including the UN.

Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are, of course, abhorred by this and he will without doubt will fight tooth and nail to prevent it from becoming a reality. The Jerusalem Post reports, “Netanyahu remembers well just how U.S. President Barack Obama brushed aside Israeli objections and went ahead with the P5+1 nuclear agreement with Iran.Now, Netanyahu is reportedly planning some personal payback.”

The potential of Obama moving across to the UN at the end of his tenure as U.S. president is frankly horrifying to a majority of Israelis. Two terms of isolation, criticism and betrayal in U.S. – Israeli relations would be replaced by years yet to come of Obama turning the international community against Israel. Obama at the UN would substantially deepen the pit of international isolation Israel even now find themselves in.

The potential for Obama to become Secretary General of the United Nations also has eerie prophetic undertones attached to it. Scripture clearly indicates that at the time of the end all the nations of the world will come against Israel. We see this trend speeding up even now with Israel’s increasing vilification on the world stage in almost all spheres.

Soon this prophecy will become a present day reality:

“On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations” (Zechariah 12:3).

Barack Obama as Secretary General of United Nations carries the potential for this field of prophetic development to take a lurch forward towards fulfillment, approaching a rapidly nearing point when all the nations of the world would actually and openly hate Israel and come against her.

It is not beyond the realms of possibility that this aspiration and end point have driven him in seeking this role from the very beginning.

Obama, has demonstrated throughout his presidency that he has no love for Israel and that he despises Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He has worked actively against Israel for eight years now and has caused grievous damage to her.

Barack Obama as Secretary General of the UN would have the scope and reach to further this agenda on a global, world stage. He could influence and bring direct pressure to bear on every country in the world, specifically against Israel.

The implications for Israel if Barack Obama became Secretary General of the United Nations are catastrophic. Though I do not believe Barack Obama to be the Antichrist, there is more than a shade of antichrist about this potential move.

It is for this reason that despite the growing number of commentator’s eager to dismiss this claim of as a fad, I remain to be convinced, and will therefore be watching carefully. We all should be.

Barack Obama doesn’t just want to fundamentally transform America. His sights are on the world. Many stories are breaking that he aspires to become the General-Secretary of the United Nations. Such talk is no longer Internet rumor.

We hear a lot about global government today, and we do not know if this will be represented by the United Nations. Since we are late in the eschatological game, we probably don’t have time for another body to rise up and control this world government.

Those who defend the notion of a world government claim that it would be a benign federation of nations structurally similar to our federal government. It is touted as the solution to all of society’s ills. We can wipe away war, poverty, and all injustice. There would absolutely be no want. They suggest this would perpetuate global peace and prosperity.The truth is, it would be an Orwellian nightmare.

The Beast

In Revelation 13, John sees the “beast,” also called the Antichrist, rising out of the sea having seven heads and ten horns. This corresponds with Daniel 7. Some kind of world system will be inaugurated by the beast. Many theologians conclude that this will be a one-world government.

It is hard to imagine how such a diverse system of government would willingly subjugate themselves to a single ruler. How would Communism, capitalism, democracy, and Islam all get along? The Antichrist would have the power to make this happen or dissolve all of these systems and blend them into one. He will have Satanic power to do this.

When does this world ruler ascend to his throne? Many conclude it will be when the disasters and plagues described in mid-Revelation are playing out in a devastating way. Others feel it makes more sense that he will seize control right after the chaos of the Rapture.

The current U.N. Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon’s term is set to end on December 31, 2016. Barack Obama is available on January 21, 2017.

Enter Bibi Netanyahu

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, working with moderate Arab nations, is on record as saying, “Isn’t eight years of having Obama in office enough? Eight years in which he ignored Israel. And now he wants to be in a position that is liable to cause us hardship in the international arena.”

Will He Be “King of the World”?

Some are suggesting that if Obama pursues this agenda and gets it he will consider himself “king of the world”. Investors Business Daily warned over a year and a half ago that President Obama wasn’t about to spend his post-presidency time building houses like Jimmy Carter. There were signs that he would seek to become head of the U.N.

An Israeli newspaper recently ran a cartoon with this “king of the world” theme.

A covenant will be made with Israel (Daniel 9) and a world body during the Tribulation. The Antichrist will make a covenant, then break that covenant, with Israel, during the Tribulation.

The U.S. Under U.N. Authority?

Would Obama place the U.S. under U.N. authority? As a presidential candidate in 2007 he wrote, “The security and well being of every American depends on the security and well being of those who live beyond our borders. The mission of the United States is to provide global leadership grounded in the understanding that the world shares a common security and a common humanity.”

For the mostly undemocratic powers represented in the U.N., having a former U.S. President who serves their interests, for all intents and purposes “King of the World,” would be a dream come true. Never has the head of a major world power served in this role. Rules and traditions would likely have to be broken.

Addicted to the Roar

Canada’s National Post asks, “What post-presidency career would Obama consider worthy of his future attention and efforts? Few jobs of Olympian prestige are available, and his self-admittedly vast self-esteem might diminish the list still further. We agree with a number of other observers that Obama has his sights set on the office of United Nations Secretary-General.”

Barack Obama will wave a reluctant good-bye. He is addicted to the roar. He will never forsake the spotlight he loves so much.

Pinning the Tail on the Antichrist

We are not privileged to know if any U.N. role will be played out by the Antichrist. Those who continually play the “pin the tail on the Antichrist” game are only guessing.

Only God knows who these end-time king-pins will be. His partner is called the False Prophet. Are they alive and well? Likely so.

We don’t know if this transition at the U.N. will happen in 2017. If it does, Barack Obama will become the most dangerous man in the world. And possibly, the most powerful.

The timing of this is diabolical as the world awaits a savior to solve its many problems.

The discoverer of the Shemitah cycle in modern times Mr. Jonathan Cahn explains the difference between this Shemitah and the two preceeding ones.

This economic downside is still full blast as the price of oil and the Chinese markets continue to take us to economic upheaval, specially when the other effects of the Shemitah cycle begin to manifest in the coming months.

Towers will fall as well as Nations, preparing the world for its final change coming in this new seven year cycle the ending of Satan’s 6,000 year rule and the establishment of the 1,000 year rule by Jesus Christ as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Could an ancient mystery over 3000 years old be affecting the world today? Did it skip a cycle in 2015? Or did it show up? And if it did, how great was its impact? And is still affecting the world and our lives to this day?

For those who haven’t read The Mystery of the Shemitah, the biblical Shemitah was the year of rest, Sabbath, cessation, that came every seven years to Israel. The Shemitah brought cessation to production, trade, and economic activity, and ultimately, a nullification to the nation’s financial realm, the wiping away of credit and debt.

Could this ancient pattern, established by God, manifest even in the modern world and affect modern economies, financial systems, and stock markets?

The amazing answer, is yes.
Does the pattern have to manifest in every cycle? No. God doesn’t have to do anything at any particular time. For as long as I’ve spoken of the Shemitah and the future, I’ve issued that warning and caution: God is sovereign and nothing had to happen on any date, month, season, Shemitah, or year.

But having said that – What about the Shemitah of 2015? Did the ancient mystery manifest or not?

Many observers were focused exclusively on dates, and months (as in September), and blood moons, that they missed this overwhelming fact: The ancient mystery of the Shemitah did indeed manifest in 2015 – dramatically and powerfully – and its ramifications are still affecting our lives as I write.

In the Shemitah of 2001 and 2008 an amazingly precise phenomenon occurred in which the greatest two crashes in Wall Street history each took place on the same exact biblical day, the last day of the biblical Shemitah, Elul 29, the Day of Nullification, appointed from ancient times for the wiping away of financial accounts – a day that only comes around once in seven years.

The Shemitah’s Central Pattern

But this was a unique pattern. The most central and predominant pattern or manifestation of the Shemitah, as revealed in the book is this: During the year of the Shemitah, the ancient phenomenon manifests in the form of a long-term financial or economic collapse.

This pattern has manifested in every Shemitah of the past half-century, every seven years:

In the Shemitah of 2008, it manifested as the Global Financial Collapse and the Great Recession.

In the Shemitah of 2001, it manifested as a long-term stock market collapse and an economic recession.

In the Shemitah of 1994, it manifested it in the Great Bond Market Massacre, the greatest bond market collapse in history up to that time.

In the Shemitah of 1987, it manifested in a summer to autumn stock market collapse and Black Monday, the worst one day stock market percentage collapse in history.

In the Shemitah of 1980, it manifested as an economic recession leading to a stock market collapse.

In the Shemitah of 1973, it manifested in a stock market collapse and a long-term global recession.

And in the Shemitah of 1966, it manifested in a stock market collapse.

The Shemitah of 2015: Year of Collapse

So what about the Shemitah of 2015? In 2015, the most predominant dynamic of the Shemitah manifested yet again. The stock market that had been ascending for years underwent a change. In May, it reversed its momentum and began to descend. It descent would extend for months.

The Mystery of the Shemitah specifically focuses on the month of Elul as the peak month concerning the Shemitah and its dynamic of financial nullification. So it was in the Shemitah of 2015. With the approach of Elul 2015, all major markets were in collapse. The Dow Jones Industrial and the S&P 500 had been in collapse since May. The Russell 2000 index began collapsing in June. China’s Shanghai Composite index also began collapsing in June. Then in late July the Nasdaq also began collapsing.

The month of Elul began in August. And with its coming, the collapse of the stock market would reach its crescendo with massive stock market crashes taking place on Wall Street and throughout the world.

How severe was the impact of this most recent Shemitah? The Shemitah of 2015 …

In this video link given by KS Rajan we see a former Muslim going step by step on the true nature of ISISL and Islam.

His message is directed to president Obama as to instruct him on the intricacies of Islam and ISIS.

Obama being the Antichrist and the son of Satan is well aware of the true nature of ISIS and is lying and hiding his goals and intentions for the purpose of deceiving as Islam requires.

The multitudes will be deceived and their destruction guaranteed as judgment from God as He opens the first seal of Revelation allowing the Antichrist to go out and conquer and giving him a victors crown.

Today this man Obama has completed seven years as president and the next seven years of Apocalypse is pending. Will there be a short period of time in between?
